An investigation of the low energy nuclear recoil response of NaI(Tl) will
be discussed. The experiment uses low energy neutrons produced via the
Li(p,n) reaction and utilizes a high light output NaI(Tl) crystal. The goal
is to improve on published measurements at energies relevant to DAMA/LIBRA
and other low-mass WIMP experiments. The experimental design and setup,
shielding optimization, neutron beam calibration techniques and preliminary
results will be included.
